You might try Club Quarters Hotels, there are three in Manhattan. You
have to be a member but anyone who works for a nonprofit can apply. I
stated in one in Chicago, the rooms are small but very nicely appointed
as is the rest of the faclities, in 2003 my room was around $125.

Peter,
I live within easy commuting distance of Manhattan, so I seldom stay
in town. But... a couple of years ago I had a great [and affordable]
stay at the Hotel Beacon on the Upper West Side [Broadway at 75th],
in a very good suite with bedroom, full bath, kitchenette and a small
living room. It's convenient for the Beacon Theatre [music venue],
Lincoln Center, AMNH, Bard Graduate Center, and the Met, the Frick
and the Upper East Side museums are a cross-town bus ride away. And
Central Park is more wonderful than ever.
Here's the hotel's URL:

Enjoy.
